Ripping Light Bare

Beneath the hum of porch light You caress my fragrant skin, While these eyes undress a gaze Deepening breaths to ignite. As we move like moistened curves, From a heated rendezvous I become a flamed woman… A rhythm of dusk immersed. And a thousand moths quiver Glowing on open window Of porch light’s swelling cave… Ripping my moth-flesh bare. Upon the grass, lips create One prayer wafting our names; In love, you alone bring thrills You are earth's song …my twin mate. Craig Cornish's Chopped ll Contest 11/13/2014

Yes I can see this flamed woman moving like moistened curves in porch light under thousand quivering moths. She is the moth of love-silvery white. Much appreciated this one, nette Love XXXX rajat
